Sony Ericsson XPERIA X5 Android Phone, a Shane A. Bygrave Design With Great Specs on Board

After the XPERIA X2 got somewhat official, since tons of leaks have revealed its looks and specs, it’s time to move on to the future of Sony Ericsson’s smartphone series. This is why we’ve been seeing so many XPERIA X5 concepts on the Esato board, the latest being Shane A. Bygrave’s design, you can check out below.

This time we’re dealing with an Android version of the X5, one that weighs 138 grams, measures 110 x 55 x 17mm an comes in 2 colours: Oceanic Blue and Vinyls Red. As far as specs are concerned, the device comes with a primary 4 inch multi-touch OLED display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution, dual speakers, Android OS, a QWERTY slide out keyboard and portable screen.

4G connectivity is also supported, together with quad-band, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, DLNA, USB, aGPS and there’s also built-in GPS among the features. An AMD Mobile Technology 1GHZ processor is running the show from underneath the case, accompanied by an Nvidia 3D graphic chipset, 1GB RAM, 2GB ROM and SD/MMC/MC card slot (external memory max 1TB).

There’s also an 8.1 megapixel camera on board with Photo Fix, touch focus, video recording and a VGA videocall cam, plus music features like MegaBass and TrackID. The best feature of this phone has got to be the X5’s wireless detachable screen, that’ll provide many hours of multimedia entertainment.

Project Hurricane Concept Phone, Designed by Liam Quinn, Now With Full Details

Remember the Hurricane concept phone? We teased the device a while ago and now its creator, Liam Quinn has revealed more details regarding the handset. Let us remind you that Liam is 14 years old and still he can envision a hot smartphone of the future.

The phone uses a magnetic sliding mechanism and built in hinge to detach the 3.7 inch 16:9 AMOLED screen and share content with friends.

Hurricane incorporates stereo speakers, TV out, a 3.5mm headphone jack and support for gesture control via the “3D Airspace” technology. The user will hold his hand above the device and raise it to increase the volume level or lower it to decrease the volume. Tracks will be skipped by waving the phone back and forth and you’ll pause songs simply by holding the hand over the phone for a few seconds.

Back to the specs, there’s a 2 megapixel videocall camera at the front, with Skype support and a 10 megapixel camera at the back with a transparent sliding lens cover, 3x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom, plus a Xenon flash. As if those weren’t enough, smile shot, blink detection and anti shake are also on board.

Flickr and Facebook uploads are supported via a 3G, EDGE or WiFi connection and you should know that Hurricane uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard. The OS of choice is Symbian, with a cube UI to make navigation and media access easier and 3 home screens for favorite apps, that you’ll download from Android Marketplace (hmmm, strange… Symbian + Android Market).

Last comes the surprise of this device: it can run Windows 7 remotely, just by clicking the Windows icon on the keyboard, since it allows the user to have instant access to the personal computer, wherever that is. You’ll be able to read and store files, create new documents and play games on the handset.

Overall, Hurricane is a lovely device, with a promising design and a very impressive specifications list and we’re waiting for more great works from Liam Quinn.

iPhone and Sniping: Together at Last with the KAC M110

You’re out in the field with an M110 rifle, trying to line up the perfect shot. But with wind, temperature, humidity, altitude and atmospheric pressure, who knows where that bullet is really going to go? Fortunately, the Bulletflight iPhone app mounts onto the rifle and tells you where the shot will land relative to line of sight. Just enter the parameters and calculate the ballistics. Knight’s Armaments commissioned the app, so it’s designed to work with the gun maker’s own models, but there’s already another application called iSnipe that doesn’t discriminate. Bulletflight costs $11.99 and iSnipe costs $4.99. Who knew this was such a competitive market

TerreStar Working on Satellite-Cell Hybrid Phone

Stranded on a desert island? A satellite phone is just the ticket, but for all those other times, you probably want a traditional cell phone. TerreStar plans to combine the best of both worlds with a hybrid satellite-cell phone (not unlike the satellite phone pictured above), possibly due out later this year. The target market is government agents and emergency workers who need service even when there is none, but this kind of phone could be useful for adventurers who don’t want to be cut off completely from the world. The biggest question of all — pricing — isn’t known yet, so it remains to be seen whether TerreStar can avoid the fate of past ventures, such as Iridium and Odyssey.
